The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has felicitated Muslims in Nigeria as they join adherents of the faith across the world in marking the birth of Prophet Muhammad.
Lawan in a statement in Abuja Saturday, enjoined Muslims to use the occasion for deep reflection on the virtuous life of Prophet Muhammad and the message of peace, love, tolerance, humility, fairness and justice which he preached in words and deeds.
“I felicitate fellow Muslims as we celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad and what he stands for.
“As we mark this occasion, we should imbibe the virtues of the Prophet which include peace, love, tolerance, humility, fairness and justice.
“It is by imbibing these virtues in our personal lives and as a people that the celebration of his birth can have meaning,” he said.
He assured Nigerians that the National Assembly will continue to make the relevant legislative interventions for a peaceful and more secured country.
